C15-2020-0016 / 4013 Clawson Rd – Additional Material (Postponement) This is the same application as the one approved in 2018. I have included my complete original application and the decision sheet in this update for your review. Any variation in the “conceptual plan” reflects simplification only. No building size or placement on either plan should be considered for any purpose other than giving the reader a sense of the size of the lot. No final decisions have been made about what may be built. The final decision about what can and will be built will be based on permit applications, reviews, and approvals by the Development Services department. There is no site plan process for an SF-3 two-unit lot; in applying for the subdivision with Land Use, we were told that all that we should submit is the lines we want to draw and a utility plan. Numerous other lots along Clawson have been divided into flag lots, and the neighborhood (including Clawson Road) has numerous multi-family developments. This was the basis for the findings in my original variance approval, including that the variance will not alter the character of the area. The facts on the ground have not changed. Denying an application that is exactly the same as last time, when no facts have changed, would be a gross unfairness. The only reason I am before you again is because (1) the City told me to get my original variance before submitting for my subdivision; and (2) the City took so long to process my subdivision application that both the application and the variance expired. This lot is currently a half-acre and is entitled for only one house and one ADU. The City’s target density for SF-3 lots is eight primary units and eight secondary per acre. Approving this variance and subdividing the lot will only lead to half that density, but will double the current allowance and help achieve the City’s housing goal – a goal the prior Board recognized in its approval (finding #1). At the time more than 80% of the homeowners within 300 feet signed a statement of support for the variance. I am happy to abide by the conditions placed last time, and request that you place the same conditions on this renewal. I want to be clear that the result of the subdivision will be two SF-3 lots, on which only two housing …
